God or
what we perceive as the supreme energy is never an object of isolation but the
very core of your being. The difference between self and God is just like the
wave and the ocean.
If you
think you are just the body – don’t for the body has its limitations. If you
think that you are the mind – don’t for the mind, too, has its limitations. It
is just another layer of our existence.
Just
like your body is made up of proteins, amino acids, and carbohydrates, you are
made up of love. Every little atom of your body is made up of love and that is
what is God and not someone sitting somewhere in heaven. God is here and now;
He is love, and space. When you are meditating feel at peace, at home with
everyone, you are in touch with the Divine force. In the Upanishads, it is said
‘kham kham brahma’ – space is Brahman, in which everything is and into which
everything dissolves. It is universal consciousness.
God is
omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient; therefore wanting to see God as
something or someone separate from you is also an illusion. God is not an
object of senses but the feeling the presence, the sound of silence the light
of life and the essence of the world and the taste of bliss.
God is
to be felt in the depth of your heart; He cannot be perceived through your
senses or through the mind for He is the Seer. As space He is everywhere, and
everything is in space. Nothing can tough space. Nothing can destroy space. And
you cannot see space as a separated object.
There
are three types of space, bhuta aakash or outer space space in which the
universe exists, chitta aakash or the world of impressions, thoughts and dreams
that exist in your mind; chida aakash or the sky of consciousness that is all
permeating every consciousness – everywhere – consciousness, the basis of all
Creation, that is Divine that which knows all.
The
whole of existence has a mind of its own. This mind is what you call Atma or
God and that is what you are. As Generator; Operator and Destroyer; as Brahma,
Vishnu and Maheshwara. God has generated the present moment; the present moment
is operating and the present moment destroyed the past. So you are in God and
Divinity is in you. There is a place for everybody in the heart of the Divine.
Divinity
is the very core of your being. Like an onion, if you start peeling the layers
one by one, when you reach the centre there is nothingness and everything is
made up of that space. Universal consciousness is present everywhere. That
being, that space, that very consciousness is what people look up to because it
is present everywhere at all times.
In the
body there are many cells and each of them has its own life. New cells are
coming up and old cells are dying but they have no knowledge of you. Yet they
are affected by you and you are affected by a single cell. In the same way,
know that the big life and the big mind which encompasses all our minds and all
our lives, is what we call as God.
